I heard an old adage a very long time ago, good pitching can always neutralize good hitting. These playoffs are like the old ones I remember. Classic pitching duels, with fans waiting for their respective hitters to get even a single, let alone a double.
I have fallen out of favor with the playoffs, I did enjoy them for a little while, so I have made some headway in gaining back my enjoyment of baseball.
Baseball broke my heart a few times, but the very last time was with my Marlins that my son grew up with. They were a pathetic team, just like my Mets were in the sixties. But then all of a sudden the Mets became the Miracle Mets, and the Marlins just kept on advancing in the 1997 Playoffs.
My old owner, and I think he owns your Red Sox now, sold off my Marlins two weeks after winning the World Series, and even thou they came back to win after I had moved to Tennessee. The scenario was the same, they sold off the team and went back to Triple A ball.
I wish you Boston my best, I did enjoy watching them win their first World Series, that was the fall I got sick with my cancer, and I told myself then that if I just see Boston win a World Series that I could then fade away. Well the rest is history, I still like Baseball, I just don't love Baseball Owners.
